MoboMarket to enable sharing of app libraries on new 'User Stores'

NEW DELHI: MoboMarket, an international Android app marketplace from Chinese search provider Baidu Inc. has announced the launch of a new feature called 'User Stores' that will allow users to curate personalized app collections and share their recommended apps with friends.

"User Stores will bring a new, more personal element to the app store experience," said General Manager of Baidu India, Tim Yang.

"With smartphone consumption skyrocketing in India and worldwide, people now face an overwhelming situation where they need to decide which apps to download out of millions of choices. Curated app libraries will add a trustworthy, friendly touch to downloading apps," added Yang.

The feature allows MoboMarket users to sort their favorite apps by category, and create customized virtual storefronts. They will then be able to share their curated app collections in a social feed within MoboMarket.

It will enable users to easily explore a wide variety of apps from many different genres, and will provide more balanced exposure to new and lesser-known apps.

MoboMarket is Baidu's international Android marketplace for audiences outside of China.

With a library of over 660,000 Android apps, it is a one-stop shop for apps, games and more.

MoboMarket now supports five Indian languages including Hindi, Marathi, Urdu, Tamil and Bengali.
